This was perhaps the most uneven match of the day, as Fayanju rose almost one foot above Smith. This didn’t appear to daunt her as she sassed her way to the table, eager to get her game on because she had a meeting to go to in half an hour. In less than two seconds Fayanju pounded Smith’s arm into the picnic table, almost shattering Smith’s ulna. For the second round they decided to use their left arms.

"For every dollar spent on cultural activities, another $1.80 is spent on related activities such as food...
...With the government this eager to generate cultural capital, it seems there's never been a better time to be an artist in Singapore. Maybe I'm young and naive. I love the idea of more money coming to artists like myself. People might stop looking at me like some Enron stock and treat me like a blue chip investment. That thought makes me really happy. I think I'll go dance...
